We successfully produced the first grams of green hydrogen molecules at our Hellesylt site in Norway, the company announced. Developed, built, and operated by Norwegian Hydrogen, the project has now entered its final commissioning and test phase, getting ready for full commercial operation in only a few weeks.
Utilizing renewable energy sources from local hydropower stations in Hellesylt, the green hydrogen production plant at Hellesylt stands as one of Norway’s pioneering green hydrogen plants. The facility is dedicated to enabling zero emissions in the Geiranger World Heritage Fjord and will initially serve a broader region, marking a significant step in Norway’s green energy transition.Hellesylt Hydrogen Hub will also open the first high-capacity hydrogen refueling station in the region, through Vireon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Norwegian Hydrogen serving the heavy-duty mobility segment.
During the upcoming weeks, there will be rigorous testing and optimization of the facility to ensure a smooth transition into full production. The plant is expected to gradually ramp up its output, ultimately reaching a maximum capacity of 1.3 tons of green hydrogen per day.
The first deliveries of green hydrogen from Hellesylt will be made to Veidekke, Cyan Energy, Skulebas and Vireon, as previously announced.
